Cell Organelle	Function
nucleus	The Control center of the cell.
nucleolus	Contains RNA and makes ribosomes
nuclear membrane	Controls what goes in and out of the nucleus
Cell Membrane	Controls what goes in and out of the cell.
mitochondria	The powerhouse. Food is converted to chemical energy (cellular respiration)
chloroplasts	Carries out photosynthesis (only found in plant cells)
Vacuole	A storage structure for water, food, and enzymes (1 big one in plants, many in animals)
Golgi Bodies	Packages and modifies proteins.
Endoplasmic Reticulum	Transports material inside of the cell.
Cytoskeleton	Gives the cell structure and support
Cell wall	Gives PLANT cells their rigid support.
centrioles	Helps to control cell division (only found in Animal cells)
Lysosomes	Aids in digestion.
Ribosomes	synthesizes proteins
Chromatin	The DNA
Cillia	Short hairlike projections used for movement.
Flagella	Long whip-like projections used for movement.
